PAGE NOT FOUND
Unfortunately this groundhog saw his shadow, but he didn’t see the page you were looking for. This isn’t too surprising since the Groundhog’s weather prediction accuracy is +/- 39%, so expecting him to find a webpage is a bit of a stretch. We’d suggest returning to the homepage.
While you’re here, did you know that the groundhog and the woodchuck are one in the same? We didn’t! After we found that out we just had to know how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Wikipedia had our answer:
“A 1957 Associated Press piece refers to the question as “a riddle which beats the Sphinx, since it’s still unanswered”.[6] A more concrete answer was published by the Associated Press in 1988, which reported that a New York fish and wildlife technician named Richard Thomas had calculated the volume of dirt in a typical 25–30-foot (7.6–9.1 m) long woodchuck burrow and had determined that if the woodchuck had moved an equivalent volume of wood, it could move “about 700 pounds (320 kg) on a good day, with the wind at his back”.[7][8] Another study, which considered “chuck” to be the opposite of upchucking, determined that a woodchuck could ingest 361.9237001 cm3 (22.08593926 cu in)[9] of wood per day.[10]
Another proposed response comes from the parody-filled video game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, where the protagonist asks a carpenter the question and gets the response: “A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can’t chuck wood.”[11]”
